Romania: Beer market down 10% in January-April

The Romanian beer market fell 10% in the first four months of 2022 compared to the same period last year, Worldakkam reported on July 4.

“In Romania, as in other European countries, the economic situation is very difficult, not only due to the effects of the health crisis caused by Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine, but also due to inflation and the accelerating rise in raw materials costs,“Julia Refererman, General Manager of the Romanian Brewery Association, explains.

The European Brewers said on July 4 that if decision makers take appropriate steps to support the sector, they may help facilitate the sector’s recovery from the pandemic.
